Xmas & Boxing Day Breaming

Haven't been blogging for quite sometime due to the holidays. Shit, my thesis is f%&ked! Anyway, still managed to squeeze some luring session in between. On xmas day, St Mike has the usual Xmas lunch. This year, something shitty happened. I went out with Father to get the food on eve. Bloody dodgey stmikey idiots ate the lettuces and a turkey the night before the lunch. Father came flustered looking for me while I was in the TV room playing Wii with Jeff. He told me what happened and I was fuming mad. No choice but to rush down to Coles with him YET AGAIN to replace the stolen food. 1st time in history this kind of shit happens to stmike's annual xmas luncheon! Luckily coles was still open late despite most of the shops in xmas eve closes extremely early.

Just before the luncheon, I thought of giving Iron Cove's drain a try for like an hour. Since it was raining like mad the day before, it might be worth casting a line. Reached there with quite an overcast day and a slight wind. Casting the sandworm was not that ideal but still made do with it. I was registering hits like mad. The theory of fishing near a drain after a big downpour seems quite promising. With the time limitation and my crap hookup skills, I only managed just under 10 breams, many of them undersize and no worthy fight.



Went back in time for the luncheon and it was a good feed. Joe came over to cook fried rice for us which was awesome. I gave him my big mama flattie I caught the other day and he was over the moon.

On boxing day, I thought of relinquishing the performance and gave the drain another go. This time round I was gonna be there for longer. Since I was low on the worm supply and the drain being renownly snaggy, I opted it to be an SX40 day. And lo and behold, it is definitely a BREAM lure. This particular 3+ hours session got me like heaps of bream hits and hookups that I was dropping jaw. All 3 of my SX40 colours were thrown in there and got smack equally hardout. But 306 proves to be the winner.

Sx40 is definitely a rock-n-roll hardbody lure for breams. I really love using them as they swim pretty sexy and being only a 4cm lure, it sure makes these aggressive predators attack the lure hardout. This was indeed a bloody sensational luring session to date.
